The Aorta is the main highway that receives blood from the heart. It splits into Arteries, these split into smaller arterioles, then even smaller capillaries .
After the Erythrocytes (red blood cells) have done their work (exchanging $O_2$ for $CO_2$), the process reverses: From the capillaries into the venules, then into the larger the veins and ultimately back to the heart. (via the Superior Vena Cava and the Anterior Vena Cava ).
to say the veins& capillaries can be quite confusing in grouping them in the & .The vessels carry out secondary endocrine functions such as;transporting hormones transported by the endocrine system...
Veins and arteries are just nomenclature:one carries oxygenated blood the other de-oxygenated to various end points of the body. You need a return path to the heart/lung system: this is...
Plaque, essentially just lipid deposits, develops in the coronary arteries of the heart leading to poor circulation. Because the heart itself needs oxygen in order to function properly, if the...
All the artery carry blood away from heart while all veins carry blood towards heart. All the artery carry oxygenated blood except Pulmonary artery and All veins carry deoxygenated blood...
More than 2,000,000 (2 million) erythrocytes or red blood cells (RBCs) are produced in human adults each second! Erythropoiesis is the process by which new RBCs are produced; evolving...
Blood typing (in general) involves the use of three different antibodies for three different antigens. These three antibodies are Anti-A, Anti-B and Anti-D and are usually coloured differently to avoid...
When blood is required you need your blood group. Blood group O is universal doner and AB blood group person can receive blood of any group is just a clinical...
